after getting my Publish button to work, using my old “publish-then go back and edit ” trick, I now have no new post or :button with my name on it at the top of every post I red at all-what is wrong with my wp? surely, this is not just me-has the format changed again, russell?

You’re the only one who has caught that. I have a postcard from 1957 that my mom and dad sent to my wise old grandmother. I’ve always loved that and tried forever to create it in the many software programs I’ve had over the decades before finally getting it down several months ago.
